GONE,

Sunday night Officer Spurrier was ap-
preached by man who in an excited man
ner asked his assistance to prevent his wife
from clipping with another man.
The officer commenced to inquire into the
case and CLEANED the full particulars
The man and his wife lived in the eastern
part Of the city, and he said they had until
very recently lived very happily together.
The destroyer of the domestic happiness ap-
peared in the driver Of a street sprinkler.
The husband here handed two letters which
he said had been intercepted, and by means
OF which preparations were made for an
elopement Sunday night. She was to meet
the driver at the postofice, disguised in men 3
clothes, and then the two would take the
Fort Scott and fee for parts unknown to
those left behind.
The officers stationed themselves near the
trystlng place and waited for some time, but
the expected parties did not appear. The
wife, II seems. became aware that her letter
had been intercepted and so made other ar
engagements" Mr. Spurrier did not see the
man again until last evening when he APP
peared and informed him that his wife bad
ned ne knew not were, but not with the
driver as he was seen ON the street during
the day The aggrieved husband is consid-
eraoly worked Up over the matter and does
not as yet know what steps to take in the
matter

BUSINESS MEETING.

Representatives of the Grand ARMY posts
in Sedgwick, Sumner AMI Kipgman counties
met yesterday at General Murray Meyers
ONCE In the county building to consider the
matter Of transportation to st. Louis. A
transportation committee was appointed con
sisting Of Ben Downing, chairman; a. D.
Aeiserman, secretary; Murray Meyers and
General B. B. EggIeston.
Several matters pertaining TO their trip
were discussed but nothing definite. Several
railroad representatives wore present ready
to talk on their feature of the question.
The meeting adjourned and will meet
again at the call of the president. There
seems to be no doubt but that the different
posts in the three counties will 60 together
Some seem to favor one road and some an
other Many are willing to 60 over the road
giving the best inducements. The route
question will doubtless be decided in few
days. The Genital Traffic association decided
Saturday to give Grand Army men rate of
one cent per mile. Prior to that time the
Western Traffic association offered to haul
for one and half cents per mile. The late
action of the Central association, it is thought,
will have tendency to cause the Western
association to give rate of one cent per
mile. The association has that matter under
discussion at present and it may be few
days before decision is given. Until it is
definitely settled the Grand Army men of
this section will probably not make the selec-
tiOn Of a route

A QUIET DAY.
annex.

Yesterday was rather quiet day in the
city for "circus day" Up to midnight last
night only three arrests had been made for
disorderly conduct. The large crowd of Wis
itors in the city and the fact that many
stopped work for the show and were having
good time on general principles in the minds
Of the police made it quite possible for causes
for more arrests.
The light fingered gentry seem to have
touched seldom. Two cases were reported.
One gentleman named Strawn states that he
somehow lost SIS and purse and is inclined
to think some one took it; he admits, how
ever, that it is quite possible that it dropped
out of his pocket and no one is to blame but
himself.
Another fellow complains Of having been
done up for fifty cents. He mourns his loss
very much.

BONDS LEGALIZED,

City council met yesterday at 2 p. N
O'Clock at council chamber with all present
excepting councilmen Healy. Harris and
Simison.
| The leading question to be discussed was
the bonds. for paying for the Topeka avenue
sewer. After considerable discussion and
additional legal evidence from Assistant City
Attorney Campbell it was decided that they
had the power to issue the bonds and sell
them if they could get buyer.
The committee appointed some weeks ago
to sell the bonds will act on the matter now
as fast as possible and pay the company con-
sirucuing the sewer the amount already earn
ed according to contract
An ordinance was passed yesterday regu-
lating encroachments on the streets by build
ers. 1t forbids utilizing the streets for build
ing material except by permission from the
council. Those building can use their own
lots but not that of the city commonly
know n as streets.
In speaking to a member Of the coun-
Gil concerning the matter after the
session he stated that the ordinance
was an outgrowth of the people. Many Of
the complaints growing out Of the obstruc-
ton of the streets Builders had been al
lowed to use half of the street, but instead
20 me would take all and the sidewalk on the
other side. The abuse of the old ordinance
on the subject had made it necessary to for
bid the use of any of the street. II all had
strictly complied with the leniency shown he
doubted very much if any demand would
ever have been made for the new ordinance
As to the new ordinance, another member
of the board thought it would work hard
ship on many parties putting up buildings
Few men bought an extra lot adjoining
the building site on which to put building
material. 1t would be, in many cases, i'm
possible o.work to advantage without using
some of the street. The provision of the
ordinance giving the council power to permit
the use of the street would frequently be
used. Gentlemen putting up large business
blocks in the city he thought ought to be
favored to the extent of using part of the
street, but see that contractors and employees
don't infringe on the rights of the city too
much.

RANTON'S CASE.

The man J. d. Ranton who gave himselfup
to the authorities Saturday still has little to
say regarding his crime. He has, however
told the sheriff that two brothers named
Lawrence pitched on him back in Kentucky.
He stabbed one Of them in the side with q
knife and the fellow died. Sir &c then he has
been wandering over the country constantly
fearing arrest; at last sick, moneyless and
discouraged he gave himself up and is now
ready to stand trial for his crime The sher
if has received telgrams from the authorities
at Williamstown, Kentucky telling him to
bring Ranton there, but he does not feel in
clined to make such expenditure without an
assurance of getting the money returned.

THE CIRCUS.

There was no doubt about yesterday being
show day and that Wichita is an exception
ally good ''show town" At an early hour
the streets we're crowded with people anxious
ly awaiting the street parade. Promptly at
10 O'Clock the procession took place and the
people were treated to a free show-a long
line of swans, chariots, open cages, richly
dressed eouestrians, handsome horses, ele-
plants, camels, Indians, cowboys, with here
and therh throughout the line, a band Of
music. The parade made good impression
and no doubt moved many to make up their
minds to see more of the entertainment that
Messrs. Doris & Colvin had to offer. The
large tent in the afternoon was crowded,
there being scarcely a vacant seat to be
found. In the evening the attendance was
even larger many Of the late corners being
compelled to remain standing.
The menagerie contains many very fine
specimens of the animal kingdom, all in ex-
cellent condition and confined in clean, nice
ly kept cages
The large tent has two rings and an elab-
crate stage. Here was given some very
striking sand pleasing performances that
tended to hold the attention Of the audience
from the beginning TO end. The bareback
ridingE by Misses Stokes and Carol, as well
ad that by Mr.. Dutton and Young Leon,
were good acts and well received. The slack
wire performance by Misses Puris and Louie
as well as their mid air feats upon the trapeze
were. striking exhibitions Of skill and agility
In the 7 Afternoon an exciting act was intro
duced in the riding of thirty-one horses by
Young..Leon. The act was omitted from the
evenings program, owing to the extreme
danger attending its performance by means
of artificial lights
The wild west feature proved quite good
card The Indians and cowboys with their
horses ponies, and bucking bronchos and the
OLD Deadwood mail coach with its driver and
guards tended to form quite realistic pic
ture of western frontier life.
One thing noticeable during the day was
the absence of any rowdyism, drunkenness
DR. disorderly conduct. The attaches all con-
1ucted themselves as gentlemen and ladies, |
and seemed to have.a kind regard for the
comfort and entertainment Of their patrons |
The show taken all in all was very good and |
gave the best of satisfaction.

tanning an invitation to the marriage of Mr.

mirers among the young people. They will

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

The case Of Munger vs. Baldridge has been
referred to the supreme court In this case
the question arises whether tie wife can vest
in the husband the power of attorney suffi-
Gent to transfer real estate. This question
affects many titles in Wichita and If 1t should
be decided in the negative there would be a
wailing and crashing of teeth among trans
fers. The matter will probably be decided
in a few months.

FIRE TURNED LOOSE,

The fire alarm was turned in last evening
near O'Clock, flames having been discovered
in building on West Douglas avenue near
Main street owned by Robert Cook. The
building was one story frame shanty of
some years existence and was being fitted up
by Mr.. W. R. Tucker for short order res
taurant. The hose companies responded
quickly both arriving at the fire about the
same time The water station had been no
tilted and good pressure was ready for the
hose. In very few minutes the flames were
extinguished.
The fire was first discovered by police
man who FASTENED to the A. d. T. office and
tnrned IN the alarm At that time il had
gained considerable Roadway, but there be-
ing brick buildings on either side made it
reasonably certain that little loss would re-
suit besides the frame shsnty. There had
been no one in the building for two hours be-
fore the fire and no fire in the building for
three weeks. The fire had star. ed in some
shavings in the loft. Those acquainted
with the situation, were not slow in giving it
as their opinion that the fire was the work of
an incindiary. No ore seemed to think that
the sponta neous combustion theory would
apply to the straw and shavings The build
ing was sufficiently demoralized that it is
not thought it will be repaired, but a brick
building erected instead
During the fire hose bursted. which
caused considerable delay before another sec
ton could be replaced. That called up the
often introduced question of ''rotten hose,
which the council figures on semi-occasion
ally. The great crowd was present as usual
and assisted of course in threshing the flames.
II fireman happened to pass fellow with
out speaking, the visitor felt basely insul,ed.
at least that is the case IL one instance.
